Todd Gurley makes important announcement about his NFL career
It’s been nearly two years since running back Todd Gurley has played in the NFL. And if his comments to the NFL Network are to be interpreter correctly, Gurley will not be returning to the gridiron.
Gurley, 28, says he isn’t going to officially retire yet, but he doesn’t plan on playing football again.
The former three-time All-Pro for the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons has been thanking former teammates and former players that also played running back for their part in his successful pro career.
“I just wanted to let those guys know I really appreciated them for everything they’ve done for me, from an inspirational level,” Gurley said…”It was just kind of more in that spirit and just let people know. Because we don’t do that a lot.”
